Li Kun glanced at her and greeted her perfunctorily, "Ah, Wanyue, you're here too."
Then he glanced at Shen Ning, his expression slightly darkening, and moved on.
The gift was bestowed by the emperor. Princess Chang Le rose to greet it. Li Kun took the box and opened it, revealing five glutinous rice balls of different colors inside.
Zhong Wanyue exclaimed with delight, "It's Five Blessings Dumplings!"
With five colors and five kinds of fillings, it symbolizes the arrival of five blessings and harmony and fulfillment. It is clearly a gift specially given to Princess Chang Le.
Although Li Kun brought him in, there was still a man with a effeminate face holding a whisk standing at the door, who must have been a palace eunuch.
Princess Chang Le bowed towards the door: "Chang Le thanks Your Majesty for the gift."
Li Kun handed her the Five Blessings Meatballs: "Alright, eat these quickly."

Princess Chang Le retorted, "Would your parents harm you?"
Li Kun was furious: "How can these be the same?"
Princess Chang Le: "Of course they are different. Aning didn't scheme to marry me, didn't get pregnant with my child to pressure her parents, and didn't covet my family's wealth. Naturally, she can't compare to me."
Li Kun was so angry he almost fell backward, and Shen Ning couldn't help but cover her face. "My goodness, Princess! I know you just wanted to tease your brother, but you can't just say whatever comes to mind!"
